GOMPERS NEAR DEATH
TRAIN SPEEDING TO U S
Veteran A F of L President Suffering From Heart Attack—
Little Hope for His Recovery
Samuel Gompers for forty yea -resident of the Amer-
ican Federation of Labor is near ccording to reports
received from Mexico where the veter leader has been
'presiding over the convention of the Pan tn Federation
of Labor the sessions being held at Mexico
After the close of the American Federation 2or con-
vention at El Paso Gompers proceeded with a pa " prom-
- inent labor leaders to Mexico City where he was 1 sent at
4
the inauguration of P Elias Calles as president of the republic
This was followed by the convention of the Pan-American Fed-
eration ot Labor of which Gompers has been president since
its organization
Reports given out late Thursday night stated that Gornpers
condition had taken a turn for the worse
Gompers is suffering from a heart attack thought to have
been induced by the high altitude of the Mexican capital When
he became ill he was placed aboard a train and rushed to a
lower altitude in the hope of reaching the United States before
death overtook him The latest report was sent out from
Monterey where it was said that fever had set in making the
patient s condition worse Reports received by the United
Press this morning stated that Gompers is still alive but very
low
While all union men and women and millions of others hope
the great labor leader may be spared for a few more years yet
it may be that he will have passed from this life by the time this
paper reaches its readers
TRAIN DISPATCHERS
ASK RAIL BOARD
FOR WAGE INCREASE
13y International Labor News Service
Chicago—Train dispatchers On
western railroads represented by
the American Train Dispatchers'
Association are asking the United
States Railroad Labor Board for
an increase in wages
The train dispatchers say that
their duties and responsibilities
have been greatly increased in re-
cents years without adequate i n7
crease in compensation They fur-
ther say that their wares in fact
have been decreased by the elimin-
ation of pay for vacation periods
on some of the railroads
The dispatchers point out that
their earning years are 15 less
than persons engaged in other vo-
cations while men less skilled are
commanding higher wages They
say that the average life of a train
dispatcher is 47 years while the
average for other vocations is ti2
years It is pointed out that the
high tension and unnatural strain
under which a train dispatcher la-
bors results in nmny organic dis-
eases —
The train dispatchers say that
they are amply fortified in their
contentions by arguments that the
carriers themselves have made be-

CONGRESS CONVENES
IN FINAL SESSION
'rile final session of the present
congress convened Monday De-
cember 1 It will adjourn March
1 This congress has made a rec-
ord for independenc It forced
a revision of the house rules that
destroyed the czar-like power of
the committee on rules and it has
repeatedly ignored the wishes of
President Coolidge The adminis-
tration was defeated on the sol-
diers' bonus and its veto on the
Bursum pension bill and its veto
on the Mellon tax plan and on
Japanese exclusion
This congress ignored other
wishes of the president and has
maintained an independence that
brought upon its head the wrath of
privilege who insists that "the
people wait a rest from congress"
This congress does not suit priv-
ilege and at every opportunity re-
action has attempted to bring the
lavv-making branch into contempt
In the senate twelve members
retire with the adjournment of
this congress next March They
are: OWVII of Oklahoma Elkins
of West Virginia Magnus John-
on of Minnesota McCormick of
'Illinois Dial of South Carolina
Ball of Delaware Bursum of New
Mexico Stanley of Kentucky
Shields of Tennessee Adams of
Colorado Sterling of South Da-
kota and Walsh of Massachusetts

fly International Labor News Service
Ind ianapolis Ind—A n organ-
ized effort by the Indiana Ilank-
ers' Association to ha' a state po-
lice law enacted by the Indiana
legislature has been put in motion'
over the state It is proposed to
model the law somewhat after the
Pen nsyl van la statute
For several years past an effort
has been made to have such a law
enacted but it has always been de-
feated either in committee or on
the floor of the two houses- La-
bor has taken a decided stand
against such a law on the plea that
the state police would be used to
break strikes ainl that it would
generally operate against union la-
bor The holding up and robbing of
some forty-nine banks in Indiana
during the last year has given a
new impetus to the plan and just
vhat opposition the bill will have
remains to be seen Leaders of or
